The Unedited Truth About Sex
· Is hooking up really wrong?
· What about living together if you fall in love?
· If the Bible bans sex before marriage . . . is everything else
fair game?
· What about same-sex relationships? Since when does God deny any
kind of true love?
Great questions . . . but who has the answers?
Our culture creates a lot of confusion about sex. Honestly,
sometimes it's difficult to know who's telling the truth. On one
hand, when we read our Bibles or go to church, we hear how God's
design is to wait for sex and save that kind of intimacy for
marriage. But on the other hand, when we go to school, turn on the
TV, or listen to many of the songs on our favorite
playlists . . . they say quite the opposite.
Naturally, this makes many of us wonder. Who's right? Sex
seems fun. How can something so natural be off-limits?
In Sex Matters, Jonathan McKee tackles all of these
questions, giving you the frank, unvarnished truth about
sex--regardless how awkward or embarrassing.
"Sex Matters provides super-helpful, truthful answers to the
big questions you've wondered about, but never asked. Way better
than anything you'll find through a web search."--Scott
Rubin, junior high pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
"'Just don't do it' isn't enough. Let's face it. Today's young
people chronically encounter sexually charged images and messages,
but rarely hear the whole story. They are looking for real answers
to tough questions, and Sex Matters isn't afraid to tell
them the unedited truth. Every teenager with an Internet connection
or a phone in their pocket needs to read this book!"--Doug
Fields, youth pastor for thirty years at Saddleback &
Mariners Church
"This isn't a sanitized, Christianized, moralized 'just say no'
tactic, but a practical approach to what's really pressuring kids
today, with biblical wisdom for how to succeed."--Pete
Sutton, director of student ministry and middle school pastor,
Christ Community Church, St. Charles, Illinois
"This could be the most honest and relevant book available for
teenagers in your ministry. I wish I had something this honest and
helpful in my hands when I was a teenager."--Brooklyn
Lindsey, youth minister, Nazarene Youth International and
ReThink Group
"There are a lot of potentially embarrassing questions
that rattle around the minds of many Christian teenagers when it
comes to sex (How far is too far? Is masturbation a sin?
stuff like that). Using powerful stories, eye-opening facts, and
surprisingly blunt biblical truth, Jonathan McKee answers these
kinds of tough questions with the right mix of truth and grace. He
gives teenagers a clear path to living a pure life in a
sex-saturated world. Get it, read it, and learn how to let your
life and light shine in the darkness."--Greg Stier,
president, Dare 2 Share (www.dare2share.org)
"Every great adventure starts with preparation. Sex is a great
adventure! But it requires thoughtful preparation. Jonathan McKee's
Sex Matters is the perfect tool to prepare you for that
journey. Do yourself a favor and spend some time thinking,
processing, and preparing for the great adventure of sex."--Josh
Griffin, Founder of DownloadYouthMinistry.com and high school
pastor at Saddleback Church
